Today Perfect escape 2 was free in the Apple iTunes store, so here’s the walkthrough for everyone. If you are from Flyhill games (feifei gao), please contact me using the contact details on the left. We need to talk.

When you pick things up, the tick button means take/use and the X is leave.

IF YOU FIND THE FRIDGE DOOR CODE PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT BELOW.. Fridge door code is different for everybody. Mine was 1235. To get yours you first make cake a small cake using flour and raw berries in the oven, this will make you a cake. Remember that’s RAW berries. Place cake on wood circle to get musical note paper. This is your code. One is at the bottom, each half line is one more. So my notes for 1235 were first note at the bottom, then the next half a line up, then the next another half line up, then the next a whole line up. Thats your code and everyones is unique.

Perfect escape 2 walkthrough

100g flour in kettle screen in kitchen, lower right cupboard.

Orange is on the berry picture screen in kitchen, in the fruit bowl.

Use orange in juice machine on red fridge screen to get orange juice.

On sink screen, zoom in on circle wood part on right hand side and use orange juice on it to get a key.

Use key on berry picture door in kitchen to unlock cake shop area.

Pick up coffee beans from table on big door screen.

Pick up note piece A from bookcase.

On the cake counter with light brown door screen there is a hidden coffee grinder on the left shelf. Click in that area and grind the coffee beans.

In kitchen use coffee machine near sink to make coffee from the coffee beans.

Place coffee you made onto wood circle in sink screen to get hammer (just like when you got the key).

Return to cafe area, use hammer on huge “juice coffee cake” poster screen to get the second part of the mysterious note from the hole you make.

Now we need to make some cake! So back to the kitchen, kettle screen, use the hammer on the top right glass cupboard to get the white sugar pot.

What does the note say?

Thanks to Questioner from the comments section below, the note in english is a recipe:
Flour jam egg cheese milk coffee juice sugar.

You need to get the ingredients, put them into the oven to make the correct item and put that on the shelf.

To get the berries for jam, go to the cafe screen, there you will find a zelmer juicer near the left cake display counter. Zoom in on the zelmer juicer, then you will see a sink on the right when zoomed in. Click the sink and you will find the berries. Use the berries in the juicer to get the jam.

To make the special cake, use flour, unprocessed berries (don’t make them into jam) and put in oven. Then put cake onto wood circle thing and you get a piece of paper with musical notes on it.

Inside the fridge you will find milk, philadelphia cheese and an egg.

Now make the big recipe of flour, jam, egg, cheese, milk, coffee, juice, sugar. Pick up delicious cake and place on wood circle to get golden key.

i downloaded about 10GB of apps yesterday. This morning apps would get stuck at waiting and not change to loading. This is what worked to fix the problem for me.

Quick solution to can’t sign in to apple app store or iTunes: get a new IP address.

I soft reset and hard reset, tried to download the apps again with no luck. Again they would get stuck at waiting, no result.

I signed out of iTunes because a post on the official Apple support forums said to do so, but then it would not let me sign back in. Other people had random suggestions on there, the worst case being a full factory reset of the iPad. It all seemed like random solutions, no one really KNEW what to do.

i called Apple tech support using the telephone number on their contact us page, they tried, but were ultimately unable to fix the problem. Apples Email support said call telephone tech support.

I fiddled and tried lots of fixes to get the downloads started. The key check was trying to create a new account on the device after I signed out. This did not work. So now I knew it was a problem with the Apple servers. Websites and safari worked fine during this time, it was just the app store that didn’t work and downloads were stuck at waiting.

I tried a separate IP address through my ISP and this fixed the problem and I could sign in and download again! So that was the solution.

Solution: because of the large repeated and large downloads yesterday my IP address was probably blocked by Apple iTunes servers. That is why I could not sign in to the system. It is possible my IP address is now on their spam list.

Temporary solution: change to a new IP address through your ISP. i hope the Apple server unblocks the IP address after 24 hours and everything should be back to normal tomorrow, but it could take a few days, depending on when Apple refresh their server block lists.

Is adfly worth it? This month I trialled advertising on adf.ly CPM advertising for a website I own. Here is my review of adfly:

Advertising spend: $5.

I ordered the worldwide option. After signup, payment and entering my website details I was taken to the account screen which showed the website was pending an admin check. i guess adfly do this for all sites now after spam and virus complaints from users and affiliates.

72 hours. Thats how long It said I needed to wait for the website verification check to complete according to the adfly notification. Luckily I guess they were feeling fresh and it was done in about 6 hours.

Now here’s the interesting part.

For my $5 I was to get 5,000 visitors on the worldwide package. According to the adfly traffic statistics, The website received approximately 5,300. Sweet, right? Well…not quite.

Google analytics says 950.

So $5 for 950 verifiable uniques. Oops.

So how about location? Were they prime juicy US visitors? In a word, no. Thailand, brazil, malaysia, etc. were prominent and the vast majority of visitors sent were from developing countries (viewable in google analytics).

So to sum up; approximately 1000 visitors from third world countries viewing your website for at least 5 seconds for $5.

Conclusion: I will not be using adf.ly again.

Adf.ly warning: if you do decide to use adfly; after signup and during the pending check of your website, remember to PAUSE your campaign! This way you control when it starts, else it will start as soon as the site verification is done. Which could be anytime.

Also, adfly links do need javascript and flash set to on for the linked site to unlock once the 5 seconds is up. However, some adblock software, for example noscript on firefox, can still block specific tracking scripts, like google analytics.

Edit 2: it took approximately 20 minutes for adfly to send the alleged 5000 visitors. So make sure your server is ready.

Is adfly a scam? I do not believe adfly itself is a scam. However, adf.ly is a payment service and link middleman that is used by pirates on forums to earn money from linking to bad files. There are also programmers who make software to manipulate adf.ly to generate false positives so they get paid. I do not believe adfly is complicit in this action. I believe Adf.ly is not a scam, but I would not use it again.

A quick walkthrough of perfect escape on the iPad. Perfect escape is created by Flyhill games and available from the app store. Go here for my perfect escape 2 walkthrough.

Quick clue: check the map to see hidden items on top of shelves.

There are two rooms, the shopping room and the bathroom. This walkthrough for perfect escape on ipad is not in order because I was typing quickly. Sorry!

Use items in perfect escape by clicking on them and if you are in a place you can use them it will show option to “use”.

The shopping area items are most difficult to get, and the tags for the till. You need two tags and two bottles. use scissors on some of the screens to cut tags from items. The game will not tell you when an item has a tag, so keep tapping all the shelves and items, then open scissors. If it says use then that item has a tag and can be cut.

The perfume near the shopping till is used on the tv screen and the big mirror in the bathroom.

Use map view to find scissors on top shelf and spanner for rust in toilet room.

Use scissors to cut labels off some handbags. Cleanser and dior are in bathroom. One on window near vase, the other near the sink. You need to scan four designer items in total to open till. The order you scan them is found by using perfume on the fashion poster in tv screen.

Make wooden doll and use on small bicycle to get key to power. Switch on power using switch in the green box. You can now use the TV and shopping till.

Set time on clock the same as the big clock tower in the window.

Play tv game to get key. You don’t need to finish the second level!

Use Perfume on tv screen to show brand names on poster. Find these 4 tags/bottles and use on till in order as on the right side of the poster to unlock drawer under till and get key to exit.

Gun on bottom side of toilet.

Bullet in bath, will need to turn power off first. The spanner for the rust is on top of the door, use map to see where it is. Use spanner on tap and this will drain the water.

Use perfume on big mirror in bathroom to see poorly translated clue!

Shoot mirror in shopping room with gun using bullet, then use key to go through and exit. Well done!

The shopping area needs lots of tapping to find hidden things, just keep trying. Perfect escape can be finished, so don’t give up.

Thats the end of the perfect escape walkthrough! I hope you found it helpful. It’s a very short game and for a review it is good if it is free, but I would not pay because it is too short. I got perfect escape free on a free download day.

Update 2 main questions from the comments that you guys are stuck on. Where is the bathroom? And location of all doll pieces…so here goes!

1. Where is the bathroom in perfect escape?

The bathroom is behind the door between the TV and the mirror screens. You will need the key. Make the doll, put doll on bike, get key for power, switch on power, play TV game (you don’t need to finish the second level!!) then key appears under the TV. Use this key to open the bathroom door.

2. Doll piece locations in perfect escape:

Left leg: on power switch screen (green box on wall screen). It is near the white handbag.

Right leg: top shelf under clock. Check map to see location.

Left arm: under middle.helmet in screen with lots of shelves (go 1 left from tv screen).

Right arm: under seat in tv screen.

Head: set clock time to match clock in window. Head appears.

Torso/main body: On helmet screen with lots of shelves, same screen as left arm. It is near the vases on the far right of the screen.

Hope that helps you guys complete perfect escape.

Extra update: anonymous asked in the comments: how to turn off bath in perfect escape and drain water?

First you turn the power off, this stops the shock you get when you touch the bath. Then check the map while you are in the bathroom. You will see the spanner, I think it was above the door. Use this to stop the water, this will automatically drain the water and you can get the bullet.

Anonymous asked: where is the YSL tag?

The YSL handbag tag is on one of the handbags in the main shop area. Click the handbag, then tap on the scissors you’ve already collected and choose “use” to cut the tag. I think the handbag is on the TV screen, bottom left. Difficult to click in the right area, aim for the left side of the bag slightly to zoom it in. For the other tag, try all the items in the shop area until you find the right one. It’s difficult to click in the right place for this part, but keep trying!

Where is the LV tag?

DA from the comments provides these details: The LV tag is on the green power switch screen. Click the white handbag to zoom in, then use the scissors to clip the tag. Done!

Myles asks: where are all the tags/bottles in perfect escape?

Two bottles in the bathroom, one near the sink and the other is near the vase near the window. The two tags are in the shopping room. Click around to zoom in on items, then try to use scissors. i think one is on the power switch wall side and the other on the bathroom door screen under the boat, bottom left handbag. You cannot see the tags, so you have to just try the scissors on every item once zoomed in.
